Batiste Dry Shampoo Review

Batiste Dry Shampoo is one of those products that you use once and you can never be without.

I have the wierdest textured hair ever, I have a lot of fine wavy hair that as a tendency to go frizzy but at the same time it can get really oily at the roots and it's dry and damaged on the ends from chemical abuse, to make matters worse it's dyed red which is well known for fading fast.
Consequently I hate the whole process of washing and styling my hair, watching my beautiful color go down the drain makes me sad and blowdrying and straightening my hair is a tedious and sometimes pointless process, as it doesn't stay that way and needs touching up in the morning.

Batiste Dry Shampoo is a miracle in a can, I just spray it onto my roots wait two minutes and brush it trough and I'm left with voluminous clean hair that smells good.
I actually like to use it even when my hair is clean as it seems to had hold and I quite like the slightly matte bed head look it gives to my locks.
Now this may sound nasty but I have gone a week, on occasions, without washing my hair by using this product and my hair will still look okay, granted it will feel quite dirty but it won't look it, on average I can go a good 4 days before I need to re-wash and style.

I also love the fact it comes in different scents so in a way it doubles as hair perfume, Batiste as recently added two new fragrances, Boho and Diva to their usual line up of Original, Tropical and Blush.

Out of all the dry shampoos I've tested this one as been the cheapest and the one that works the best, Klorane makes my second favourite but it's more expensive and you need a lot more for it to work.

You can buy Batiste in the UK at Boots and Superdrug and I think in the US you can now get it from Sally's.

Another Day, Another Haul.

More new stuff for me to play with, quite a bit of which I've been putting off for a while but finally caved in.
I'm trying to buy less new make-up but at the moment I'm failing miserably.


Sleek Safary Palette

The new Sleek Safari Palette

Batiste Boho and Natural High

Batiste Boho Dry Shampoo, they have another new one too called Diva but it was out of stock at Superdrug.
Natural High Brightening Eye Cream, on sale for £2.60 as light reflective particles as well as an AHA complex to gently exfoliate the eye area, bought one for my sister too as she as dreadful dark circles and her eyes are really dry.

Urban Deacay, GOSH and Bobbi Brown

Urban Decay Pocket Rocket in Doug
Urban Decay Pocket Rocket in Kirk
Urban Decay Liquid Liner in Minx
GOSH Soft N' Shine Balm in Antique Gold, lovely caramel gold color but the shimmer doesn't stay put and within a hour of wear I have a glittery nose and chin.
Bobbi Brown Creamy Lip Color in #04 Nectar

YSL and Estte Lauder

YSL Rouge Pur Shine in #32 Frozen Mango
Estee Lauder Pure Color Lasting Lipstick in Vanilla Truffle
Estee Lauder Pure Color Crystal Gloss in Honey Glaze

Forgot to mention I also bought two tubs of hair mask from a range called Naked which specialises in natural products.
They were 2 for £10 so I got the Naked Shine Glossing Hair Treatment and Naked Vitamin Boost Treatment.
